Kanyomozi ‘doesn't deserve support’ she's getting from artistes – DJ Nimrod

Nimrod Nabeeta, popularly known as DJ Nimrod, has expressed disappointment in Ugandan musicians for supporting Juliana Kanyomozi ahead of her concert yet she never does the same for them.

"... This Music Industry can be funny and unpredictable. The way Ugandan Musicians are posting about Juliana’s Show and yet she NEVER posts any of your shows!!" the DJ posted on his Facebook Tuesday.

According to Nimrod, 35, Kanyomozi only posted about Azawi's concert which was held on July 22 because Azawi is managed by Swangz Avenue, which is also promoting her (Kanyomozi's) upcoming concert.

"She only posted Azawi’s coz [sic] Swangz is doing her show," he said.

"I love an industry where we support each other or where we support those who support us... She doesn’t deserve the support she doesn’t give."

Kanyomozi will be holding her first concert in eight years on Friday, August 18 at the Kampala Serena Hotel.

During a recent interview with Extra Digest, she was asked why she never performs at shows organised by other singers and she said it's because she’s rarely invited.

“You have to ask me. You have to invite me if you want me to help," Kanyomozi said.

One of the lucky musicians she’s supported is Irene Namatovu while performing at Club Obligato some years ago.

The 'Kibaluma' singer also got heavy backlash when she scheduled her concert on the same day as Born 2 Conquer (B2C) group, who will be holding theirs at Freedom City in Kampala.

A number of people using different platforms have weighed in on the B2C-Kanyomozi concert scheduling with divergent opinions.

Those opposed to Kanyomozi's move say she's not giving young people a chance to showcase their talent, while those who support her say their fanbase is different.
